If Moses really existed he would be arguably history's most influential figure, the founder of the great monotheistic religions of the modern world. But was he a real person, and if so, when did he live?
In 'The Moses Legacy' Graham Phillips takes the reader on an exciting journey into biblical times, using the latest archaeological evidence as well as a new reading of the Old Testament to recreate early Hebrew history. He shows how much of the Old Testament can be corroborated, from the conquest of Canaan to the seven plagues of Israel.
But above all, he uncovers the identity of Moses, unpicking the confused chronology of Exodus to reveal that Moses was not one but two men, living at different times - a Hebrew priest called Kamose who first discovered God and an Egyptian prince called Tuthmose who led the Israelites out of slavery. And he locates one of the most holy places in the world, the Mountain of God, which is not today's Mount Sinai but another, more ancient religious site.
Using his own unique brand of historical detective work, Graham Phillips pieces together what we now know about the Hebrews and the founding of their religion. 'The Moses Legacy' combines impeccable research with persuasive argument, telling a remarkable story that is all the more so for being true.
